History
Nikolai Gnatyuk (Mykola Hnatiuk, born September 14, 1952, in Nemirovka, Kamenets-Podolsk region, Ukrainian SSR) is a Soviet and Ukrainian estrada (pop) singer with a tenor voice, active since 1970. He trained at the music department of the Rivne Pedagogical Institute, began performing in the ensemble "My - Odessity," then sang with a Soviet Army ensemble in Weimar, East Germany, and toured with the veteran VIA "Druzhba." His breakthrough came from a chance recording with Rostislav Babich's orchestra, followed by early hits such as "Devchonka iz kvartiry 45." In 1980 he took first place at the Sopot Intervision festival with "Tanets na barabane" (music by Raimonds Pauls), and in 1981 recorded his signature song, "Ptitsa schastya" (Alexandra Pakhmutova and Nikolai Dobronravov), still his best-known number. He scored another hit in 1987 with "Malinovy zvon," winner of the Song of the Year festival. He holds the titles Honored Artist (1980) and People's Artist of the Ukrainian SSR (1988). A widely repeated story holds that at Sopot in 1980, jury chair Alla Pugacheva tried to lure him to a party the night before his performance to sabotage his chances, but he slipped back to his hotel room unnoticed and won anyway.
